speak_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o fanatical_a protestant_n or_o the_o last_o speech_n of_o john_n kid_n and_o john_n king_n etc._n etc._n pag._n 11._o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v thus_o

this_o that_o they_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o suffer_v and_o perhaps_o true_o but_o not_o a_o tittle_n of_o the_o case_n which_o be_v just_a as_o if_o all_o the_o rogue_n in_o the_o nation_n shall_v

that_o in_o scotland_n no_o man_n dare_v to_o offend_v they_o open_o for_o fear_n of_o assassination_n but_o such_o as_o either_o must_v by_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o place_n or_o else_o have_v

the_o commons_o of_o england_n lay_v the_o blame_n of_o all_o this_o upon_o the_o duke_n of_o lauderdale_n or_o their_o minister_n but_o upon_o the_o total_a change_n of_o their_o government_n and_o

any_o further_a than_o he_o will_v serve_v they_o in_o that_o and_o last_o to_o obtain_v a_o free_a and_o unlimited_a parliament_n and_o assembly_n that_o be_v such_o as_o it_o may_v not_o be_v in_o

these_o demand_n which_o our_o gentleman_n want_v and_o i_o wish_v ever_o may_v do_v but_o yet_o the_o reader_n may_v observe_v that_o speech_n that_o be_v so_o hug_v in_o england_n and_o the_o

it_o be_v null_a and_o void_a and_o the_o former_a act_n be_v still_o in_o force_n though_o repeal_v which_o be_v a_o odd_a sort_n of_o establishment_n consist_v in_o the_o fancy_n of_o the_o people_n that_o own_o it_o and_o not_o in_o law_n or_o nature_n they_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o their_o justification_n upon_o necessity_n and_o yet_o own_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o to_o arise_v from_o

a_o very_a little_a assistance_n from_o england_n and_o as_o to_o their_o preachment_n i_o wonder_v in_o what_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o learn_v to_o defend_v christ_n religion_n by_o
